Did well with age. A little bit of funk, some nice earthiness.Leaning towards liking this better younger with more fruit but held up well to add some other layers. The plus minus on youth/age is about a draw.

Rather pale red, translucent colour. A discrete Pinot nose with strawberries, cherries, some spice, and a bit of mineral. Medium bodied(-), palate with strawberries, cherries, a bit of spice, rather good acidity and medium- tannins that feel like they have some oak influence and that linger in the aftertaste. Rather well balanced, not too complex and drinks OK now, but feels like it is in a stage where it could gain from a few more years to develop some mature notes and for the tannins to resolve themselves.

Clean, light cherry red, watery rim. Clean nose, cherries and raspberries, little secondary development. Light palate, very fruit driven, no noticeable tannins, short to medium finish. Nice wine for a lunch with friends. Nothing special but does what it says on the bottle. Personally I'd suggest drinking up in the next couple of years.

Past it. Elegant Burgundy nose, but on the palate it was unlpleasant, almost bordering on oxidized. Strange. Perhaps flawed.

With every bottle opened, I adore this wine more. Simple, unpretentious, gives a lot of pleasure for very fair price.
